Chaeyoung Becomes 2nd Member To Leave JYP Entertainment; To Remain In TWICE

It looks like another member of TWICE (νŠΈμ™€μ΄μŠ€) is leaving the company. After much speculation, Chaeyoung (μ±„μ˜) confirmed she’s leaving JYP Entertainment while remaining a member of the girl group.

Earlier today (Thursday, 13th August 2026), Chaeyoung took to Instagram to announce her departure from JYP Entertainment after over a decade with the company. In her letter, the idol wrote, “I’m so excited to step into a new chapter and bring my new LIL FANTASY, a world where I can explore and build my music.”

SOURCE: TWITTER (@JYPETWICE)

Chaeyoung then thanked the agency and the staff for their support over the past 14 years. She also confirmed that she’ll remain a member of TWICE despite her departure from the company, writing, “Most of all, please know that nothing changes with TWICE. Everything I’ve received is thanks to my time as TWICE, which will always be my roots.”

Chaeyoung is the second member of TWICE who isn’t renewing their contract with JYP Entertainment. Earlier this week, Jeongyeon (μ •μ—°) announced she’s leaving the agency and has signed with VARO Entertainment for her acting career. Like Chaeyoung, Jeongyeon also confirmed that she will continue to participate in TWICE’s group activities.

At the moment, Chaeyoung has yet to announce her next move or which agency she’ll sign with for her solo career. However, it’s also possible that the 27-year-old will establish her own label, as many idols have done. In case you’re wondering, the singer-songwriter previously debuted as a solo artist in 2025 with her studio album, “Lil Fantasy Vol. 1”.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM (@chaeyo.0)

Fans have reacted to Chaeyoung’s announcement, expressing support for her in her solo career. Many also said they look forward to seeing what the star has in store, noting her creativity and musical style. Some also expressed relief that she’ll remain a member of TWICE after departing from JYP Entertainment.

We also extend our support for Chaeyoung as she embarks on her new solo journey. We can’t wait to hear more music from the star.

“KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS” Review: This Scene Is Gnarly & We Mean That Both Ways

There is no doubt that KATSEYE is a phenomenon. This global girl group isn’t quite like the others out there, and that’s what makes them gnarly. You know, like boba tea. Here’s where you say “gnarly,” pretty please.

But anyway, two years after “The Debut: Dream Academy” turned six strangers into a global act, the group already has its own expanding documentary-verse. First came the Netflix docuseries “Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.” Now there’s “Wild Hearts,” landing in theatres just two days before the “WILD” EP itself, which is a crazy schedule, we must assume, even for them. We mean 24/7, more like 25/8. Like, honestly, are they okay?

Fair enough, though, because the exhaustion checks out. In two years, KATSEYE has gone from reality show hopefuls to two Grammy nominations, a Coachella slot, arena tours, and a brand deal roster that reads like a grocery list. That Gap campaign in particular is highlighted in this feature, and rightly so, since by the group’s own accounting that denim gamble is what really brought the boys to the yard.

But between those deals and the tour stops the documentary tracks, “Wild Hearts” doesn’t shy away from showing just how big the machine has gotten around six people who are all still in their twenties (minus maknae Yoonchae, who the group insists is not, in fact, the baby, even though every Eyekon knows better).

That machine, of course, started with “The Debut: Dream Academy,” the 2023 competition series that put KATSEYE together in the first place, later expanded into the Netflix docuseries “Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.” “Wild Hearts” barely touches the academy process itself, but that makes sense, “Pop Star Academy” already chronicled all of it, so there’s no real reason for this film to retread the same ground.

What we get instead is more of a quick victory-lap flashback than a full retelling, which tracks for a film aimed squarely at people who already know the lore cold. Director Nadia Hallgren, who previously helmed the Michelle Obama documentary “Becoming,” clearly has the chops for intimate, character-driven nonfiction. What’s less clear is how much room she was actually given to use them here.

Which is exactly where the film’s biggest limitation shows up. The best artist documentaries lean into that scale to go somewhere genuinely intimate, the way James Cameron helped Billie Eilish earlier this year, pulling back the curtain on burnout and the creative process in a way that felt unguarded, or Taylor Swift’s “Miss Americana,” which used its access to reckon honestly with image and control, or even Blackpink’s own doc, which let its members sit with homesickness and pressure without rushing to the next number.

“Wild Hearts” isn’t quite reaching for that. It’s more interested in sorting KATSEYE into tidy categories and serving them up bite by bite: the origin story bite, the hit-single bite, the struggle bite, the fun-personality bite. For better and for worse, this is a highlight reel, or greatest hits with chapter breaks.

Source: HYBE

That categorising approach works best when it’s charting the group’s rise. We get the debut era and how “SIS” (Soft Is Strong) set the tone, with “Touch” proving it had, well, the touch!

Then comes the big gamble, which everyone hated at first. “Gnarly”, which by all accounts flopped on first listen before the fan camp turned it into a full-blown phenomenon.

And obviously, “Gabriela”. Watching that climb laid out in sequence is genuinely satisfying, and to its credit the film doesn’t pretend the wins came easy; we see the actual grind behind them: shoots that run into the freezing early hours of the morning, rehearsals stretched for hours to nail a single eight-count.

There’s also a nice beat around “Pinky Up,” which the film reminds us is what they opened their Coachella set with, a genuinely full-circle moment for a song that started as a hook people couldn’t stop replaying online. Watching that climb laid out in sequence is genuinely satisfying, and to its credit the film doesn’t pretend the wins came easy; we see the actual grind behind them, shoots that run into the freezing early hours of the morning, rehearsals stretched for hours to nail a single eight-count, including a good chunk of time spent drilling the choreo for “Animal” until it actually looked effortless.

Where it still holds back is any form of dispute, which is, again, very perfectly curated. We see the hours logged, but the film never quite digs into what was actually happening in some of those rooms creatively. It’s very girls-focused instead.

SOURCE: TWITTER (@katseyeworld)

One notable gap in that victory-lap timeline: no “Iconic By Mistake.” Yes, we’re aware of how many times “iconic” is going to appear in this sentence, but that’s kind of the point: the collaboration is iconic simply for getting three genuinely iconic groups in the same room, and it doubled as one of the most self-aware, well-aimed clapbacks at the haters KATSEYE’s had all year. Its absence is a real head-scratcher, unless the timing didn’t line up and the collab dropped after “Wild Hearts” had already locked its footage, in which case, fair enough, but still a shame it didn’t make the cut.

That tradeoff extends to the harder stuff, too. The film does acknowledge the members’ struggles, even if it’s mostly their ups and only some of their downs, and the most prominent of those beats is Megan Skiendiel’s mental health segment, where she’s noticeably positioned as the one willing to speak up on behalf of the group, not just about her own experience, but as someone actively pushing the conversation forward for all six of them.

Whatever “Wild Hearts”, as a film, gets wrong elsewhere, at least everyone involved seems genuinely willing to sit with that one on camera. The footage itself never feels performative; it’s the editing around it that occasionally does, cutting from something raw straight into the next glossy brand beat like it’s checking a box, you know.

If nothing else, though, this film is a testament to the girls’ strength and stamina. More than once, members admit they’ve wanted to give up under the sheer weight of it all, which, fair, when the number of eyes on you only keeps climbing as the stages get bigger. And as the performances get more elaborate, so does the pressure riding on every single one of them.

What’s genuinely great is that “Wild Hearts” as a film lets them hold both things at once, the nerves and the ability to push through them, without pretending the nerves weren’t real to begin with. They’ve embraced the weight rather than hidden from it, and more than once, they turn around and thank the fans for helping them carry it.

The lighter stuff lands better, mostly on the strength of each member’s aura. Yoonchae gets one of the film’s more quietly moving arcs here, talking about how she used to give basically one face in every photoshoot, a practiced poker face, because it felt safer than actually expressing anything.

Watching her talk about finally being able to show more now, tied to her simply feeling more confident in her own blonde look, is a small moment that says a lot without overselling itself. It shows across the board, really, the members’ energy and charisma come through as exactly what you’d expect if you’ve followed them at all, and a few of them carry themselves with a maturity that reads as earned rather than coached.

Sophia in "KATSEYE: Wild Hearts"

Sophia’s segments make her leadership status obvious without the film needing to spell it out. She’s consistently the most well-spoken of the group on camera, to the point where you can watch it happen in real time, a question aimed at Megan will land, and Megan will visibly sidestep and hand it off to Sophia instead, who takes it without missing a beat. What’s more telling, though, is how little she seems to care about being the center of it. She doesn’t treat screen time or extra lines as something worth chasing, because as far as she’s concerned, KATSEYE is a group first, and that’s the part that actually matters to her.

Lara Raj pitches an “The Office”-style mockumentary bit at one point, breaking the conversation to turn and stare at the camera, and it does not work, which somehow makes it funnier, a rare moment where the film seems genuinely unscripted rather than assembled after the fact.

Lara in "KATSEYE: Wild Hearts"
Source: “KATSEYE: Wild Hearts”

It’s also nice to see the film give her room to talk about writing “Unloveu” herself, proof that heartbreak clearly makes for good songwriting material even from the inside of a group this busy, and it’s around these moments that her own comfort being the group’s go-to voice really comes through.

Daniela Avanzini gets the film’s most quietly emotional beat, geeking out over finally getting to represent the Latin community on this scale, and clearly moved by the chance to sing in Spanish on “Gabriela”. She talks about it with the kind of gratitude that doesn’t feel performed, like she’s still a little in disbelief it’s actually her doing it. She also gets the single best line in the whole film without even trying, deadpanning “ojo de gatos” in her segment, which is just KATSEYE’s name in Spanish and still lands like the setup and punchline in one breath. Small moments like these do more to sell the group’s actual personalities than any of the tidy category segments around them.

SOURCE: TWITTER (@katseyeworld)

Not every member gets that kind of room, though. Manon Bannerman appears in “Wild Hearts,” but barely as a speaking voice; most of her screen time plays like archival footage, as if she’s a ghost now rather than a current member sitting down alongside everyone else. That’s understandable to a point; she’s on hiatus and isn’t doing promo or group activities right now, the same position Sophia is currently in.

That editorial caution only gets harder to ignore in hindsight. Just last week, Sophia announced her own monthlong hiatus for her mental health, which retroactively recolours everything you just watched. The film couldn’t have known that was coming, obviously, but watching her carry so much of the group’s emotional weight on screen now plays very differently than it probably was ever meant to. It’s the kind of unplanned dramatic irony that no amount of careful editing can account for, and it ends up saying more about the toll of this industry than anything the film consciously set out to say.

Source: Billboard

Still, at the end of the day, “Wild Hearts” does exactly what it set out to do as a marketing tool. It runs through the greatest hits, gives each member their moment in the spotlight, and moves on before anything gets too heavy, basically the “Suicide Squad” title-card treatment, if we’re being generous – we’re kidding, there are no actual title cards, but imagine the chaos if there were: Megan’s segment flashbanging you with Candice Dances and full brainrot faces, Lara’s slapping on something like “rising global pop superstar” in bold red text. It’s polished, it’s fun in stretches, and it’s clearly not trying to be a warts-and-all exposΓ©.

Funny enough, we got a small taste of that fandom energy firsthand at the screening. Some Eyekon in the audience came up out of nowhere and passed us a set of Lara photocards, the kind of spontaneous generosity that usually only shows up in Weverse comment sections and fancam replies. And we’re reminded of the power of this fandom, honestly, and KATSEYE clearly knows it, because the group takes every opportunity in their doc to thank the Eyekons for getting them here, for the support along the way, and for whatever’s coming next.

Image Credit: Rahul Bhatt

Which, in the end, is really what “Wild Hearts” is. It is a tour through KATSEYE’s past, a snapshot of their present, and a trailer for their very near future, all in service of getting people in seats for “WILD.” Whether that’s a disappointment or exactly what an Eyekon needs forty-eight hours before the EP drops kind of depends on what you walked in wanting, and honestly, most Eyekons will probably walk out generally satisfied at seeing Ojo de Gatos on screen regardless.

“KATSEYE: Wild Hearts” is currently playing in cinemas.

The Review

KATSEYE: Wild Hearts

3 Score

We could describe this behind the scenes peek with one single word, you know... but it's generally a documentary that's part highlight reel, part cautionary tale, and part victory lap two days ahead of "WILD." "Wild Hearts" gets real about the pressure, the grind, and the toll of fame, but always on its own terms, cutting away just as things get interesting. What it gets careful about is everything that might complicate the marketing, and by the end, that caution is hard to ignore.

Klook Launches Global Search To Reward Five Travel Planners With An All-Expenses-Paid Trip To Switzerland

Following research revealing travel planners as the least-thanked people in every group chat, Klook is inviting travellers around the world, including Malaysians, to nominate (or self-nominate) the planner who deserves a trip they do not have to plan. The global campaign, ‘Thank You, Travel Planners’, will reward five deserving travel planners with the holiday they have always planned for everyone else.

Whether it is a weekend getaway with friends or a family holiday, every group trip typically has one person leading the planning. The one who builds the spreadsheet. The one fielding “Wait, what time do we leave?” texts at midnight. The one who takes the blame when the itinerary does not please everyone, and rarely gets the credit when it does.

SOURCE: KLOOK

Klook’s recent survey of 2,725 travellers across 10 markets confirms what planners have long suspected: travel planning ranks among the least-thanked tasks people do for others, behind everyday favours like carrying bags or holding doors. More than eight in 10 planners say they spend over 10 hours organising a single group trip, which they estimate is worth over US$50 (approximately RM205) an hour. This is also echoed in Malaysia, where more than seven in 10 (75.8%) travel planners say organising a week-long group holiday takes longer than 10 hours.

For many travel planners, the responsibility does not end once someone else takes over, as 42.4% admit they quietly and anxiously watch from the sidelines – always checking, second-guessing and ready to step in if needed.

Handing a trip to another person does not remove the work; it just relocates it. Someone still has to juggle the tabs, chase the group chat, and decide. For many, ensuring the trip runs smoothly remains a responsibility they carry until everyone returns home.

“We built Klook to make travel planning simpler, so travellers can spend less time on admin and more time on experiences,” says Marcus Yong, VP of Global Marketing at Klook. “Now we’re taking that promise one step further with a fully planned getaway for five travel planners who always get travel right for their friends and families. It is their turn to take a vacation from planning vacations,” he adds.

To demonstrate appreciation for the planners in every group, Klook is launching a global search from 10th to 31st August 2026 for five travel planners who are really good at doing their job and really tired from doing it. The five winners will be treated to a 7-day hosted trip to Switzerland in December 2026, where their only task is to show up.

Alongside the global prize, Klook Malaysia will also select three local winners from all Malaysian entries. The grand prize winner will receive a mystery trip for two, while the second and third prize winners will receive Klook eGift Cards worth RM500 and RM300 respectively. Entering is simple. Nominate the travel planner in your life (or yourself) by sharing the story of how they brought the whole trip together. What did they organise? What challenges did they overcome? And why do they deserve this getaway?

Your story will help Klook understand why they deserve a vacation from planning vacations. For bonus points, all Malaysians are encouraged to upload a 60-second video or share a link (TikTok, YouTube or Google Drive) showcasing the travel planner in action. Some of the samples which can be included are their carefully crafted itineraries, meticulous planning process or memorable moments that highlight the role they played in making the holiday a success.

(Video) Actress Syida Melvin Officially Divorces Husband After 6 Years Of Marriage

After filing for divorce earlier this year, Malaysian actress Syida Melvin has officially split from her businessman husband, Syafiq Azim. The couple finalised their separation earlier today (Wednesday, 12th August 2026), a day after the actress’s birthday.

Syida and Syafiq appeared at the Shah Alam Syariah Lower Court, with the formal pronouncement of divorce taking place at 9.25am. Syafiq reportedly declared talaq satu. Syida’s legal representative, Nurul Jamaliah, said the divorce proceedings went smoothly, with both parties giving their utmost cooperation. With her divorce, Syida will begin her iddah period starting today.

Syida, whose real name is Nur Syifa Assyidda Amirol Melvin, first sparked news about her divorce following reports in April 2026 that she had initiated divorce proceedings against her husband. Shockingly, the filing dated back to December 2025. However, the process was delayed after the pair briefly explored the possibility of reconciliation to resolve their differences. After failing to reconcile, Syida and Syafiq proceeded with the divorce.

According to the pair’s legal representatives, the reason for the divorce is irreconcilable differences. However, in recent months, Syida has hinted that financial issues have plagued her marriage. The 30-year-old claimed that her husband has racked up thousands of ringgit worth of debt involving their joint businesses. She also claimed that Syafiq failed to pay for their house, leading to issues with the bank.

For those wondering, Syida and Syafiq tied the knot on 19th January 2019. The pair share three children: Safa Safeera, Sara Sajedda and Serhan Isa. Regarding the custody of their children, Syida’s legal team said that it’s still being discussed and will be filed once they’ve obtained the necessary documents from the court. However, Syida has been caring for her children since filing for divorce earlier this year.

The public has reacted to the news, wishing Syida and Syafiq the best as they go their separate ways. We also extend our well wishes to the actress and the businessman in their respective journeys.

Suria KLCC Sets Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2026 In Motion With RR By Rizman Ruzaini

Suria KLCC opened Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week (KLFW) 2026 in style on Monday, 3rd August, presenting the official opening show of the 14th edition through its esteemed retail partner, RR by Rizman Ruzaini. Held at the Esplanade, KLCC Park, “Suria KLCC presents RR by Rizman Ruzaini” unveiled the label’s Cruise 2026 collection, RR Vol 4: Heritage in Motion, to a full house of 500-strong guests, kicking off a week-long celebration of Malaysian fashion under this year’s theme, Destination: Home Ground.

True to its title, Heritage in Motion drew on Malaysia’s nostalgic streetscapes for its inspiration, with a runway presentation and event styling built around motifs of trishaws, bicycle gears and vintage travel – a visual love letter to a bygone era of Malaysian mobility, reimagined through RR’s signature contemporary silhouettes. Staged inside KLFW’s newly reimagined show hall – a monochromatic, heritage-inspired structure adapted from archival batik prints from Yayasan Sabah – the collection was presented on an all-white, hourglass-shaped runway before an audience of industry figures, media and fashion enthusiasts, with the show simultaneously broadcast live on a large LED screen to shoppers across Suria KLCC.

The opening night drew a distinguished turnout, including Datuk Sr Mohd. Salem Kailany, Group Chief Executive Officer of KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, Francis Tan, Executive Director and CEO of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd, and KLFW Founder Andrew Tan, underscoring the significance of RR by Rizman Ruzaini’s selection to steer this year’s opening showcase. With almost two decades in the industry behind them, Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Wan Jamil made it a fitting choice to set the tone for a week that, this year, sees the duo return for a rare double feature – with a second showcase following later that same evening.

Francis Tan, Executive Director and CEO of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd, said the opening show reflected the calibre of the retail partnership Suria KLCC has built with the label, “Rizman Ruzaini represents a great success story within the Malaysian fashion industry, and we are proud to count them among our esteemed retail partners here at Suria KLCC. Entrusting them with the opening show is a reflection of the platform we have built, and the standard Suria KLCC continues to set for Malaysian fashion. Heritage in Motion captured exactly what Destination: Home Ground is about – taking what is distinctly Malaysian and giving it a stage worthy of the world. It set the perfect tone for what promises to be an unforgettable week of Malaysian creativity.”

“Opening KLFW is a significant recognition for the brand’s founders, and marks the beginning of a closer collaboration with the mall,” shared Rizman. This milestone follows a major breakthrough for the designer duo – Rizman and co-founder Ruzaini – who fulfilled a career-long dream of opening their first boutique in Suria KLCC with the RR label in 2025, after almost two decades in the industry. “At the end of the day, brand trust is very important, and having a space in Suria KLCC means your brand is trusted,” he said.

The showcase set the stage for a milestone edition of KLFW, which runs from 3rd to 9th August 2026 across the Esplanade, KLCC Park, featuring over 50 Malaysian designers and labels under the theme Destination: Home Ground. Presented in collaboration with Suria KLCC and KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, and supported by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) as Principal Industry Strategic Partner in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026, this year’s calendar spans debut labels, established names and cross-industry collaborations, alongside on-ground activations across Suria KLCC including styling displays by fashion students at Isetan KLCC and a curated Jom Malaysia pop-up by KPDN.

“Championing Malaysian fashion is both a responsibility and a key business priority for us. While global luxury brands bring prestige, our local labels give us our heart, heritage and unique identity,” Tan added. “Positioning local powerhouses like Rizman Ruzaini alongside international couture houses shows that Malaysian design is truly world-class – and this opening night was proof of that ambition realised.”

Among its signature dining experiences are China Blue, the city’s highest Chinese restaurant serving refined seasonal Chinese cuisine, and Gami Teppan, where the dynamic artistry of Japanese teppanyaki takes center stage. Together with the hotel’s sophisticated social spaces, these venues celebrate exceptional flavors, craftsmanship and meaningful connection.

For meetings, celebrations and special occasions, Conrad Kuala Lumpur will offer a comprehensive collection of flexible function spaces anchored by the Conrad Ballroom, designed for conferences, gala dinners and weddings. Events can be enhanced through The Local Gathering, a programme of neighbourhood experiences, local cuisine and handcrafted details that brings a stronger sense of Kuala Lumpur into each occasion.
